I am too-much-cutting, eroding shears, blunting sharp edges

I'm the penitentiary, cheaper than a fitness club, providing better workout than a fitness club.

I am a good lawyer, finding the smallest hole in the law to avoid enprisonment, expensive

Did you know that at 2298/358 = 6.2, this thread probably has the lowest Views/Posts ratio on the entire site?
'nuff said.

Did you calculate that on a old Pentium 60? That division comes out to 6.4 according to this Pentium 4 
Anyway, on to the duel:
I am democracy, voicing popular opinion, re-establishing government checks and balances.

We are at fifteen pages so far, it is unfeasible for me to know everything that has been mentioned, especially given that I took a break from the forum for a month or two and missed out on over half the thread. Anyway, now to bring this back to the realm of the concrete:
I am a bus, driving fast, running over Kurt Gödel.

Don't worry John, I'm not exactly in a position to have a go at anyone about repeats, just decided to point that one out as I noticed it...
Anyway, I am a speed limit, controlling the speed of buses, reducing fatalities

oh, john, my top tip for quickly finding if your response has been used previously or not is to hit reply, then use Ctrl+F to search for it. Has saved me on numerous occassions. Also helped lots for other long threads

Now that you mention it, that works. While I knew the previous replies were below the edit box, I never really thought about it much. In Firefox all I have to do is hit the forward slash and start typing, just like in vi. Yes, I am a Unix fan, even if I am typing this in Windows 
I am Sherlock Holmes, deductively reasoning, sifting through false clues.
